Escape the Darkness
in the darkness
one can't see the shadows
falling down around them
but can feel the chill
as it rises in the air
sweeping over them
with misty eyes
even these skies cry
as the clouds of fear
hide glimmers of hope
it's times like this
where the darkest hours reign
that i miss you most
and long to feel your touch
comfort the child within me
as well as the adult i've become
alone i stand
a wreath of emotions
gather within my mind
where my thoughts
fall silent only to prayer
I'm confined
outside of dreams
as this nightmare
becomes reality
now only the crow
can visit your grave
as he flies
in and out
of the darkness
life has become
